24-hour Christmas Music

I am a HUGE fan of Christmas music! To date I have about 874 tracks of Christmas music available to me... it's kind of tough to get an exact count because of things like CDs that have all of the songs in karaoke versions at the end, or compilations that have duplicates of songs from other CDs (the Chipmunks, Burl and Bing are particularly bad in this regard), or tracks that are actually mostly or entirely spoken. But that's the number of tracks in my MediaMonkey, anyway. Out of all of those, most of which are off of CDs, I eliminate about 100 from regular rotation for various reasons (like, for example, the ONE song on the CD that I can't STAND!), but that's still enough to keep me happy pretty much all of the time. It's plenty enough to fill up my GoGear. But what about when I'm MP3-playerless? What about when I'm in the car? Or around the house? Or when my GoGear's battery is dead? Do I go straight to the CDs? No, silly! I go to one of the radio stations in Tulsa that's playing 24-hour Christmas music: Mix 96 or KBEZ! (They both have live streams if you're somewhere that doesn't have 24-hour Christmas music.)

'Course, if you love Internet radio, there are lots of options... like AccuHolidays and Yahoo's Happy Holidays Stations. And if you can somehow manage to get tired of the 46(!) different holiday music stations on those two sites, I suppose you could always Google for some more.
